This morning as I was checking my social media pages, I saw a post I posted a few years back honoring my grandmother on her birthday. As I went on through the day, I wondered what would I post on Bridgette Breaking Barriers. I was scheduled to post something today, but I had nothing. I started writing a couple of posts, but nothing worked out. I later noticed a Facebook post by my aunt honoring my grandmother. Today, would have been her 99th birthday. In this moment, the word legacy came to mind. I never had the pleasure of meeting my grandmother face to face. What I know about her…

Moments of Doubt
Can I have a truth moment? After my recent interview (if you havenāt seen it yet, check it out here), I began to question if I was living my truth. Itās one thing to encourage others to do right, but itās another thing to live it yourself (I told you all from the start, Iām not there yet, LOL). I had a conversation with a friend about my feelings, he reminded me that breaking barriers is not an arrival, but a continued journey and that I was speaking life (positivity).
